Fake Food (Hover)
You are talking about food that is sold in the Us that I would define a Country which presents a medium level of hazard for food (not healthy but not poisonous either). You guys should see what they sell in South-Eastern Asia. It gives the creeps.

They use any sort of chemicals preservatives or flavors (many of which are banned in western countries) which causes these countries to have one of the highest rates of tumors not caused by the use of tobacco (well, they are leaders in this latter category also but that's another story).
